Shop awnings and blinds in Cumbria
A traditional blind can suit a period building, so owners in the North West can ask us to match a fascia box to their Cumbria premises.
We inspect the wall at your Cumbria premises for strength, because a folding-arm awning pulls hard on its brackets. Cafes in the North West can use an awning to give outdoor tables some shelter, subject to any licence your Cumbria premises need.

Which towns do you cover?
Common questions
Do you cover all of Cumbria?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Cumbria, including Barrow-in-Furness, Carlisle, Kendal, Penrith.
How high must an awning be above the pavement?
It depends on the highway authority, but 2.3 to 2.75 m above the pavement is common, measured to the lowest point of the awning or valance. Most also want a clear gap from the kerb. We check with your authority before we set the position.
Do I need planning permission for a shop awning?
Often yes in England, since an awning can change the appearance of the frontage, and lettering on it can need advertisement consent. Highway approval can also apply. Listed buildings need extra consent, and rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so we check before ordering.
Can an awning stay out in the wind?
No, awnings should be retracted in high wind, as most are designed for shade and light rain. Wind sensors can retract motorised models automatically. BS EN 13561 gives wind resistance classes, so ask which class applies to your product.
